Hi Oliver,
I think I should forward this to you. You have the information how far
we are with this issue.

Already in progress for 1.1 Beta 2 ..

*** Issue 12428 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. ***

commited.

Olaf, you can find the OOo installation sets on so-cwsserv01. Please
ignore the various error messages for the linguistic/spellcheck
components. Thanks.

Reset FIXED state.

Verified in cws vcl07.

Done for Beta2

when super user installs a network install version of OO.org on
Solaris  (i.e. setup /net) , they are given an option to add OO.org
launch icon to all user's cde panel (i.e system wide). The same option
should be included for gnome, i.e. if super user elects to add icon to
all user's cde panels, a similar system wide menu option should be
included for all user's gnome menus.
changing summary to reflect system wide requirement.
The original issue to include gnome intergation on Solaris has been
fixed. This only works on a per user basis.
reopening issue.

Hi Oliver,
I think this is a new feature. Can we handle this in time?

The system wide CDE stuff has a very specific reason: the userland
integration can be done for 1 text encoding only! If the user log into
a locale with another text encoding (of the same language), (s)he will
see garbage in the panel. Espescially for the CJK languages this seems
to be a use case.

Luckily Gnome uses UTF-8 for this purpose and the desktop file contain
all languages. While I agree that it would be good to have the system
wide integratoin for Gnome also, I fear that - due to the lack of an
urgent need - we won't make it in time for 1.1.

So I am retageting this issue to 2.0.

I think summary of this bug should be changed, because OpenOffice 1.1
RC still doesn't appear in Gnome2 menus on Debian Linux too :(

Please, fix this bug before OOo 1.1 final - this misleads many simple
users, because they don't know how to start openoffice applications
after installation.

This bug is very simple to solve:

1. Put .desktop files in ~/.gnome2/vfolders/applications
(It seems, that OOo 1.1 RC already does this correctly)

2. register these files in ~/.gnome2/vfolders/applications.vfolder-info

Look at http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/menu-spec/ for more info
about this.

I'm attaching modified  ~/.gnome2/vfolders/applications.vfolder-info -
then "OpenOffice.org 1.1 Writer" is displayed in Gnome meniu at
"Applications"->"Office"

Created attachment 7811 [details]
Example of ~/.gnome2/vfolders/applications.vfolder-info with included "OpenOffice.org 1.1 Writer"

#1 should already be the case. Could you please verify ? The trouble
with this is that ~/.gnome2/vfolders/applications will become
~/.desktop (and already is on Solaris), and the current install
mechanism lack the flexibility to decide this dynamically (based on
$XDG_CONFIG_DIRS for example).

The same is the case for #2: the .desktop installation process is just
a cp at this time and would have to change significantly to support #2. 

On the other hand I expect most users to install the packages coming
from the distributors, which take care of the integration issues.

If you really think this has to be fixed for 1.1 final, please submit
another bug report (because this one is talking about Gnome for Solaris).

Then I don't understand why bug #12428 is a duplicate of this bug ?

Btw, there also is bug #11738, which is about Gnome2 menus too.
Maybe I don't need to report another one ?

I think the summary cof this issue changed, but I'm not sure. Feel
free to re-open #12428 if you like. On the other hand, #11738 should
be sufficient.

System wide menu integration is a product requirement for OOo 2.0, so I am
closing this RFE as duplicate to the corresponding PCD issue.

Closing.
